I have had my camera for not even a year and it recently started having this problem. Whenever I take a picture, the object will look fine in the display, but when I take the picture it gets horizontal lines across the picture. It is much worse if there is any natural light coming into the picture. I have tried adjusting the flash, the white balance, but the pictures are still coming out this way. Also, if there is a good amount of natural light, you can't see the object you at all, it looks

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the LCD display shows a normal picture when you are composing your shot, but that when you actually snap the shutter to record the shot, the resulting image has nasty lines across it?That ...

Incompatible JPEG When I review pictures on camera screen, at some of pictures a message comes up on the screen and says: "Incompatible JPEG" But when I take card out of camera and insert into computer slot all pictures can be seen.
Do you know what's happening?

Incompatible jpeg I don't know much about cameras. My daughter was getting this error on her canon so she could not review her pictures. She tried putting her memory card in my canon and we still got the same message. We were able to get the pictures saved by putting the memory card in the computer. Anyways now I keep getting that message on my camera with my own memory card. What could hers have done to mine??
what can i do so i can view them again in my camera without that jpeg incompatible s

After I take picture, the picture is captured & shown but when I try to view,(by pressing playback) it displays 'Cannot playback Image' with a big question mark. When I downloaded & tried to view those pictures, its not displayed. Whatever viewer I use, it says viewer cannot open this picture as format is not supported. The format is Jpeg. I was using the camera for the first time in my trip, the pics taken for half day are fine, but later half it started giving the above error.I had not made an

Check to make sure that you did not accidentally change image format from jpg to crw(camera raw). Your camera lcd will only display jpg files and you need special software to view raw files on the pc. ...

I just finished uploading pictures from my camera & when I tried to switch my camera back on it refuses to switch on to take pictures & when I try to look at my pictures I can't see my pictures it comes up saying, 'Read error'. Please help.

Sounds like you didn't use the "safely remove hardware" command located at the bottom of your computer screen. If you reset your camera, it will probably work again. Go into the menu and scroll to "reset" and follow the on-screen instructions. ...

Bright pictures I have had my Sony Cyber Shot (DSC-S650) for about 6 mo. I have tried all different settings for the flash but almost all of my pictures come out with the person very white and bright. The pictures are fine if taken outside in natural light but anything other than that and my pictures are very white and bright. I have even tried to turn the flash all the way down on the manual setting. This is the third Sony Cybershot camera that I have owned and have never needed to change any o

When I took my camera swimming, the pictures taken were fuzzy. I turned it off so I could look at my pictures. I could still look at the pictures but it wouldn't stay on for long. The screen would darken and start beeping. Now when i try to turn it on, it just beeps. Nothing goes on.

Sounds like you got a bad battery or a flash capacitor inside the camera that control the rest of the unit. specially if it beeps. I would have a local camera shop examine this because this sounds like you got a bad flash capacitor insid ...

Incompatible jpeg I have a Canon Powershot SD 1200 and have taken about 200 pictures. The first 20 show incompatable jpeg. and the rest are fine.

I have a Canon EOS 40D camera. We are having problems with using an external flash. The pictures always come out extremely dark with the external flash. The flash seems to work fine, it flashes brightly. The pictures look fine using the built in flash. The flash is a Promaster but we tried a Canon flash and it did the same thing. The camera store we bought the camera and the flash from says it looks like a synchronization issue and that it is a hardware problem with the boot. Their sugges

I don't know if this will help and this post is two months old. The \015\012camera store may be right that the synchronization is the issue which \015\012tends me to point a finger at the external flash. There are at least \015\012three different fla ...

When I try to push play the camera stalls and keeps loading. then it just freezes. I can take pictures but i cant look at them. when i try upload the pictures onto my computer they come up blank.

When I view my photos I have already taken they look good until I try to zoom in, then the photos go fuzzy in multiple color stripes taking over the screen. Will my photos be fine when I load them to my computer? Is this my camera or my memory card. I put someone else's memory car in my camera and could zoom in and it was fine. I put mine back in my camera, took two pictures, and could zoom in on those photos and it was fine, but not on the previous pictures I have taken. I did plug my camera

Fuzzy pictures are most often caused by not holding the camera steady enough it's the number one problem with shooting "Live View". It's not the camera nor the memory card it's the person that's taking the picture. Sorry if that was to blunt. Now say ...

Lcd blurred I have a canon power shot a80 and when i turn it on and try to take a picture, on the LCD display i see a mixture of colour which is not even letting me see the image of the picture i would like to take. If i look through the lens and take the image, i am still able to view the picture I had taken if i set the camera on the view pictures. The mixture of colours on the LCD only shows when the camera is set on take the picture... and it doesn't even do it always. Thanks.

Canon PowerShot A80 Digital Camera

Distorted image The image I see through the viewer is distorted(vertical lines). Also if I take a picture that comes up the same, all vertical lines?
The picture looks good in the viewfinder but the actual picture is distorted---many horizontal lines thru the picture and the exposure is very very light. I have tried cleaning the lens with an "air duster: but has not helped. Any suggestions?

Camera is acting as though there is a lens cap over the lens.
Cannot see pictures in LCD. All pictures come out blank (black).
Can view pictures on the LCD taken on memory card previous to the malfunction. Also, looking into the lens I can see that th shutter is moving when snapping a picture.

When uploading pictures some of the pictures will come back as disformed or cut into sections and rearranged or weird tinted colours. When i look at the pictures on my camera they're fine but when i upload them it happens and if i re upload them it happens to different pictures out of the bunch, say 25 out of 300 or 2 out of 10. Is there a cause to this problem and what can i do to fix it? i've tried switching camera chords

Dark Pictures Before taking the picture, the image in the view screen looks fine. After I push the shutter button, the flash goes off and the picture is taken, but the pictures come out very dark.

This is very much related to the timing of the shutter activation and the flash firing since its okay to shoot outdoors. calibration may solve this, i will try to find som info about it then post it here for everyone else. ...

Focus problems Hi, my camera is not focusing clearly. We just used it recently and can look at clear pictures on the display screen but now when we go to actually take a picture it's blury (on the display screen and if a picture is taken). I also notice that all these different setting menu's come up on the display screen when we are in take picture mode. I took it in today and they said the lens could have been bumped or that their is something wrong with the focusing inside. So they would hav

I have recently been on vacation. I checked photos on the LCD screen after a days shooting. All was well. I have now downloaded the pictures to my computer. Photos from the first several days are missing and perhaps others too, scattered through the remaining days. When I try to review the pictures again on the LCD screen I can see the pictures I was able to download but also many blank screens with "incompatible JPEG". What does this mean and is there a way to retrieve my missing pictures fro
